- BATSMENRB4s6sSR7.5 lovely bowling, caught behind! In the channel from Buckingham, just outside off stump, hint of movement and the natural bounce he gets. Nicks the edge for a regulation chance 17/21.1 has he gone first ball? Yes, he has! A brilliant diving catch by Philippe, full stretch to his left, as Gaikwad looked to glance this fine and Australia A on the board early 0/114 edge, taken behind! Length ball angled across outside off, Sudharsan pushing with hard hands, takes the edge and snaffled by Philippe. Doggett opens his account as India A stumble 32/333.3 driving, caught behind! India A's mainstay goes. Full outside off, Padikkal goes for the drive, it's another thin edge through to the keeper 78/628.3 the resistance is broken, just before lunch. Indrajith using his feet to Murphy, he's not to the pitch so looks to defend, the ball balloons up to short leg and it's give. Indrajith doesn't look happy with the decision 71/431.5 a flashing edge, another catch for Philippe! Kishan was always likely to try and attack, his eyes lit up a bit of width outside off, threw everything into a cut and it takes the top edge. The bounce, again, causing a few problems 77/535.4 short ball, top edge, simple catch! Doggett has four. India A in a mess. Reddy tried to take it on with the pull, perhaps done for a bit of pace, it splices up into the leg side and Konstas takes it a square leg 79/739.4 very full, and given! Doggett has five. Straight at middle, it actually hits Suthar on the full as he steps across the crease, huge appeal and the finger goes up. What a day for Doggett, who was only added to this side as an injury replacement 82/847.4 and all over...Saini almost scoops this to gully, it's very full outside off, looking to guide it through backward point and offers Connolly a simple catch. O'Neill closes things out with his first wicket 107/1041.4 and now he has six! Straight through Krishna with a lovely ball that straightened late to beat the outside edge 86/9Extras2 (b 1, nb 1)TOTAL107 all out (47.4 Overs, RR: 2.24)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 1.1 ov), 2-17 (Abhimanyu Easwaran, 7.5 ov), 3-32 (Sai Sudharsan, 13.6 ov), 4-71 (Baba Indrajith, 28.3 ov), 5-77 (Ishan Kishan, 31.5 ov), 6-78 (Devdutt Padikkal, 33.3 ov), 7-79 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 35.4 ov), 8-82 (Manav Suthar, 39.4 ov), 9-86 (Prasidh Krishna, 41.4 ov), 10-107 (Navdeep Saini, 47.4 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR0.3 he's gone third ball! Looking drive against a fullish ball outside off, gets an edge through to the keeper in a style we've seen plenty of today. One of Australia's opening contenders goes for a duck 0/111.3 edged, taken at second slip! Harris can't make the most of his life. Round the wicket from Krishna, short of a length, Harris flashes at it, takes the top and it's a sharp catch. Australia A's top three have all failed to take their chance 26/33.5 given caught down the leg side! Bancroft can't believe it. Short of a length, angling into the hip, there is a deflection...but the reverse replay confirms it's all thigh pad. That's a rough one for Bancroft. 9/2Extras6 (lb 5, nb 1)TOTAL99/4 (39 Overs, RR: 2.53)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Sam Konstas, 0.3 ov), 2-9 (Cameron Bancroft, 3.5 ov), 3-26 (Marcus Harris, 11.3 ov), 4-73 (Beau Webster, 27.3 ov)
